Game designer: I am making games, not charity

The happy time of playing games with female apprentices always passes quickly.

But fortunately, Wang Miao got along quite happily with this female apprentice.

In the next few days, Wang Miao would go online every noon and night to do tasks and level up with the female apprentice.

The relationship between the two is getting closer and closer, just like the intimacy value in the game, the closer they are visible to the naked eye.

And there are undoubtedly a lot of masters and apprentices like Wang Miao and this female apprentice, as well as friends and partners in the game.

In addition, a large number of new players have poured in every day in the past few days since the server was opened.

As a result, the big tasks originally set in the game accumulated more and more reputation points on the entire network, and various buildings in the fairy sword world began to be gradually repaired.

In the big world, there are more and more tasks that can be done, and the playability is getting higher and higher.

So, that night, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" issued an announcement, preparing to stop the service and update.

……

Platinum Games Inc.

meeting room.

The player data of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is displayed on the big screen.

[Additional number within one hour: 113294]

This data represents that today, registered players are still growing at a rate of nearly 11 per hour.

Even if it is only 11, it is already an achievement that many VR games cannot achieve in a "lifetime".

But this is just the number of players in "Legend of Sword and Fairy" in just one hour.

And this also shows that the popularity of the game "Sword" is still high, and it is still rising.

[Total number of registered players: 63323755]

This is the total number of registered players in the game for a total of seven days.

A total of 6,300 people.

This number has already set off a huge storm in the game circle of the entire Great Xia.

However, this figure of more than 6,300 million is obviously not the end of Platinum Games' game!

[Average number of people online at the same time: 3082355]

This data represents the loyalty of game players, and the earning power of this point card buyout game!

This data translates the average number of nearly 30 online users.

It is equivalent to 24 hours a day, and there are nearly 30 people who continue to recharge point cards to play games.

This number is not small at all.

You must know that during these 7 days, 5 days are during working hours.

Most players don't have that much time in the game.

But "Legend of Sword and Fairy" can still get such excellent results.

It is enough to prove the player's loyalty to this game.

In terms of money, the point card price is one yuan per hour.

This game can earn 30 yuan in one hour.

You can earn 24 million in 720 hours a day.

During these 7 days.

The game "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has already brought Platinum Games a full 5,000 million in revenue!

Although this number will not be maintained after the players of the game are completely stabilized.

There will be fewer and fewer players at the full level.

But that's good enough.

It is an achievement that is simply impossible for most games in the world!

Take Goose Factory's "Xianxia Simulator" for comparison.

Now the average number of online players in this game has dropped to 9360 people.

Based on the point card of 1 yuan for 30 hour of this game, you can only earn less than 30 in one hour.

But the price of this game is 30 times that of "Legend of Sword and Fairy"!
And there is another very important point, that is, the average number of online players in the Goose Factory game is still declining.

From the first day to the seventh day, players of Goose Factory's "Xianxia Simulator", such as Wang Miao, have been attracted to "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

As long as it is a player who has been exposed to these two games at the same time.

Unless it is a special preference for VR games.

Otherwise, most of them would not continue wasting time and money on Goose Factory's "Xianxia Simulator".

Faced with such data, the faces of all the employees were filled with excited smiles.

From the data point of view, this time, Platinum Games has already won a complete victory.

But this is just the beginning!
Chen Feng cleared his throat, looked at some game data and information on the computer screen in front of him, and said lightly:
"The players are very enthusiastic about doing tasks in the Great World of Sword and Sword, and many buildings have almost been completed, and the corresponding functions have also been launched.

That being the case, tonight, let's unlock both the Qinggong mechanism and the pk function. "

When designing this game, Chen Feng integrated the interactive system and some combat mechanisms in "Jian Wang 3".

But he originally paid more attention to the plot elements of Legend of Sword and Fairy, so he ignored the enthusiasm of the players in the big world.

Originally, he thought that the big world was just a leisurely game platform function, allowing players to hang up, chat and play in the big world after finishing the stand-alone plot.

Unexpectedly, the players are all too enthusiastic and passionate, even if they keep spawning monsters to clear the level in the plot, they are also constantly brushing when they return to the big world.

The interactive system and the light work mechanism of the big world, which were originally planned to be launched about a week later, had to be launched in advance.

Of course, because various bugs have been checked and repaired before, even if these functions are launched in advance, there will be no problems.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Zhonghao next to him added another sentence: "Mr. Chen, the second half of the first expansion of Immortal Sword should also be released. Now the overall prestige value has basically been revealed."

Chen Feng nodded: "Okay, then take advantage of this update and prepare to release it."

After saying this, he paused, and then asked Luo Zhonghao to arrange for the Propaganda Department to find more game live streaming platforms to cooperate with and increase publicity.

Although the current results of "Sword of Immortal Sword" are already very good, but Chen Feng knows that this is just the beginning!
Although the plot of the first expansion film is already very good, the plots of the following "Legend of Sword 3" and "Legend of Sword 4" are better than the last one!

Only when all these expansion packs are released, the data of "Sword of Heaven" will really usher in a big climax!
Therefore, the propaganda naturally cannot be left behind, they must take advantage of the victory to pursue.

The anchor promotion is very valuable for many games, and it is also very cost-effective!

……

In a messy rental house.

The dazzling sunlight penetrated through the curtains and fell on the face of a young man on the sofa in the room.

But he didn't notice it at all, still closed his eyes and fell asleep.

At this time, the cell phone next to the man suddenly rang!

The crisp and piercing ringtone finally woke up the sleeping man.

The man connected to the phone, and the voice of a manager of their guild came from the other end.

"Hey, Xiao Liu, don't broadcast vr games tonight. I just heard that there is an event on the platform. You can broadcast "Legend of Sword and Fairy" tonight. In addition, we also found a female anchor for you , play games with you Lianmai at night."

The man was stunned for a moment, before he had time to say anything.

The other end has already hung up the phone.

The man's name is Liu Yu, and he is a full-time live broadcaster.

Although he has no other skills, but because there is a vr game cabin at home.

So you can afford to live broadcast this bowl of rice!

Most of the game anchors in this world basically broadcast VR games.

So the biggest threshold is a VR game warehouse worth hundreds of thousands.

Even if ordinary people want to do it, they simply cannot afford such expensive things.

However, because he has a little facial paralysis and his live broadcast style is relatively flat, the popularity of his live broadcast room has always been tepid.

If it wasn't for the help of the guild, contacting some female anchors to interact and cooperate with him, I'm afraid he would have a problem with eating as a live broadcaster.

This time the guild arranged for him to broadcast computer games, although he was a little reluctant, but after thinking about the practical issues for a while, he could only accept it calmly.

Without the help of the guild, Liu Yu might have to end the live broadcast industry and find a class.

Liu Yu has always kept this kindness in his heart.

Since the guild has an arrangement, simply follow the arrangement of the guild.

So, Liu Yu got up and washed up, then ran to the desk, turned on his slightly old computer, downloaded "Legend of Sword and Fairy", and planned to play for a while, practice his hands, and wait until the live broadcast at night. more skilful.

After the download is complete, enter the game.

Looking at the antique pictures in the fairy sword world, coupled with the beautiful music, the overall feeling gave Liu Yu an unprecedented impact.

Liu Yu couldn't help being a little surprised.

"How can a computer game be so good?"

Only then did he begin to throw away his previous prejudices, be patient, and play along the plot of the game.

When playing the plot expansion, Liu Yu felt that the game was really good, but he was not particularly interested.

He has never been too cold about the plot of the game.

When skipping the plot and returning to play in the big world, Liu Yu began to become a little addicted.

What makes him particularly addicted is the lightness skills and the pk system in the big world!

First of all, after the last update, the Qinggong system has just been released in the game!

Such a smooth and light work, but it is completely absent in any VR game today!

Players have the basic triple jump, can fly very high, and can basically fly to most places.

In addition, players can also climb mountains and wading, fly over eaves and walls, and the overall movements are also very elegant and handsome.

When controlling the character and using lightness skills in the air, Liu Yu only felt as if he was also in the world of Xianxia, ​​flying around...

And such a smooth flight operation.

Due to technical limitations, in today's VR games, there is no way to achieve it!
